The Town of Prescott Valley participates as a “Program City” with the Arizona Department of Revenue. You may apply for a license for the State and Town on www.aztaxes.gov, "License a Business"; or by utilizing the Arizona Joint Tax Application (JT-1) available at www.azdor.gov.

The Arizona Department of Revenue collects Prescott Valley tax along with the State and Yavapai County. Report your Prescott Valley tax on your state form TPT-EZ or TPT-2 which is used for multi-location or multi-jurisdiction (replaces TPT-1), available at www.azdor.gov. You can also file and pay your taxes online at www.aztaxes.gov.

Taxes are calculated by stating the gross receipts for the reporting period on the tax return, entering the itemized deductions, then multiplying the resulting net taxable amount by the appropriate tax rate (6.35% for the State/Yavapai County and 2.83% for the Town).

It is the responsibility of the business to remit transaction privilege tax. Whether you collect it from your customers or not, the tax liability for all taxable business conducted in the Town of Prescott Valley must be remitted.

The Town endeavors to provide the best customer service possible. To that end, our staff will provide answers to your tax questions. However, please be advised that we are not bound by oral advice given by Town staff members. If you have questions, please contact our TPT department at 928-759-3132 or email salestax@pvaz.net.

Yes. All sales (except sales for resale) that you make to the Town are taxed in the same manner as other taxable sales, which means that the Town will be subject to the regular 2.83% Town tax in addition to the State and Yavapai County tax. This also applies to construction.

Yes. Food sold in the Town is subject to the Town tax of 2.83%. The State of Arizona and Yavapai County do not tax food unless it is prepared and sold for consumption on or off the premise (i.e. restaurants, bars).

Use Tax is levied on retail purchases from out-of-state vendors, and is generally noted as “sales” tax on the vendor’s invoice. It was enacted with the specific intent to prevent unfair competition from out-of-state vendors. If the out-of-state vendor does not specifically charge the use (or “sales”) tax, then the Arizona purchaser is responsible for remitting the tax. The Arizona rate for Use Tax is 6.6% and the Town of Prescott Valley rate is 2.83%. Yavapai County does not have Use Tax. The region class for the State Use Tax, however, is still YAV. The business class for the State is “029” and the business class for Prescott Valley (PL) is “029.” The purchaser may either be licensed to remit the use tax on the retail purchase that was not taxed, or may remit the tax with a cover letter to the Arizona Department of Revenue. When a Sales Tax has been paid in the state of purchase at a rate equal to or greater than the Arizona and Prescott Valley use tax rates, the Arizona purchaser has no further liability.

Use tax is also levied on businesses that purchase items for resale and subsequently use those items internally instead of selling them, i.e. "Use Tax From Inventory" code 030.
